Carrying capacity should absolutely be CON-based, not STR-based.

So I guess that makes them incels.

Man, I am a MESS when it comes to trust issues already.

But because of my lack of self-confidence and garbage self-image, I instinctively do not trust confident people. I feel like they're hiding something and are just putting on a facade.

Doesn't make me any friends, but at least I'm a lot harder to recruit into a cult, which is something, I guess.

He wasn't shocked by more than one brand, that sometimes happened in USSR as well, funnily enough.

He was shocked by sheer abundance and by the fact that a LOT of things Soviet citizens considered luxuries were just... There. In the supermarket. You could buy them. They weren't all that expensive.

Here's the famous photo

And here's Yeltsin in a Soviet grocery store for contrast

Now, granted, this was the late 80s. Shit was already BAD in USSR. The entire supply chain was slowly collapsing due to several decades of bad policies. So a lot of people who are nostalgic for the USSR are more nostalgic for the 70s, when there was a lot more stuff, especially in big cities.

What people forget is that it was the result of USSR striking black gold and discovering HUGE oil reserves all over the country. Then selling that oil to the West and importing a shitton of food. Meat and dairy were still at a premium, but they weren't completely disappearing off the shelves like in the 80s. And the wise Soviet leaders decided that oil will be expensive forever and it wouldn't be a monumentally terrible idea to reroute the economy of the largest country in the world entirely to oil and natural gas extraction, while relying on imports for borderline everything. Who needs local industry and production when you have oil?

Did you know that the unironically backwards and tyrannical Russian Empire was the largest exporter of food to the Europe back before the 1917? Yeah, turns out there's a shitton of the most fertile type of soil in what is now Russia and Ukraine. Absolute bread-baskets. I mean, sure, people back home went hungry, especially in less-developed regions like Syberia, but it's not like that changed when the Soviets got into power. Except the Soviets couldn't even scrounge up enough wheat to sell it abroad anymore. Well, except for Stalin, who decided to genocide Ukrainians in order to meet the grain export quotas to the West. But in exchange he got pre-WWII industry, which just kinda rotted away after him, because the Soviet system absolutely could't keep up in the technological race with the West.

Russian and Soviet history is so fucked up, it's not even funny. Everything was always done for the glory of the State and the Leader, regardless of who was in power. The regular-degular humans were just meat to be sacrificed for the Great Leader's ambitions.

But we did launch the first man in Space! We would've launched him sooner if Stalin didn't purge half the scientists in the country, but we did launch him. We also ignored all safety precautions and it's a miracle Yuri survived as long as he did, only to die under very suspicious circumstances when his patron Great Leader got ousted.

That's Russia in a nutshell. Infinite, ridiculous potential. Absolute garbage baby-eating leaders who seemingly enjoy torturing their own people and every neighbor possible for the hell of it.

People on Twitter got really mad when someone said that USSR, and I quote, "nailed the evil Empire aesthetic".
